Coppé's first European tour

The exquisite Coppé will be touring Europe for the very first time this autumn as part of the Cyber Tongue tour with audio-visual artist Ben Sheppee and London-based breaksters Liberation Jumpsuit. Confirmed dates are as follow:

Thu October 19th: Resonance 104.4FM Live Session (The Clearspot, 7pm)

Fri October 20th: Mavryx @ The Spitz (with Modified Toy Orchestra)

Sat November 4th: Ginglik, Club on the Green, Shepherds Bush

Sat November 4th: Digital City, Shoreditch

Tue November 7th: Head+Arm @ The Vibe Bar, East London

Sat November 11th: Optica Festival, Gijon, Spain

For those who haven't experienced Coppé's weird and wonderful pop, these gigs are probably the best opportunity to see what she is all about.

Coppé has been releasing since the late nineties on her Mango & Sweet Rice imprint, and has worked with artists as diverse as Plaid, Kris 'Thrash' Weston, DJ Vadim or The Program to name but a few. While she names Richard D James as one of her main influences (she even dedicated a song to him on her last album), her work encompasses a wide ranges of genres, from delicate ambient pop to techno and jazz-infused electronica.
